Percy Jackson and the mixed half-blood

Practice lessons

In case you were wondering, yes that is Percy in the top photo. I looked at this for a solid 10 minutes bc of how accurate this photo is.
Let's just take a minute to look at this photo, which also sparked my idea for this chapter enjoy!

Iris POV

I sat at the dining pavilion, trying to act like last night hadn't happened. Nico was different around me, more soft and protective.

Tyson sat next to me, shoving food continuously down his throat. No one found this weird around us, so I supposed I should probably think it was normal as well.

Just then someone hugged my shoulders and put their head to my ear. "Hey I have an idea." Andy. "Seriously dude fuck off." I rolled my eyes, removing his arms around my shoulders.

I turned around and faced him. He grinned at he and cupped my face with his rough palms. "Aww Iri is mad, isn't that adorable." He cooed. "Step any closer and I will snap your neck." Percy, Nico, Annabeth, Tyson, Will, Jason, piper, Celia, and Italy crowed around us.

Andy glared daggers at them before he leaned in. Immediately Pearl appeared next to me and put her hand over my mouth, protecting it from touching Andy's lips. They would've been my first kiss, thanks Pearl! I smiled. To be honest I had no idea if Pearl could read my thoughts.

Pearl looked over and grinned, apparently she could. She gave me a wink before shoving Andy off her hand. "Gross." She muttered to herself, whipping her hand on her pant leg. I giggled.

Percy nodded towards his group and they lunched at Andy.

TIME SKIPPPPPP *Evil laughter*

Iris POV still

Andy had to spend a month in the infirmary because of Percy, Nico, Annabeth, Pearl, Tyson, piper, Jason, Celia, and Italy. I laughed so hard because the infirmary was run by Apollo campers sooooo Will and Nico (because Nico never left Wills side) were watching Andy. I had a feeling I wouldn't see his for awhile.

"Hey Iris?" Percy called from behind me. I had been sitting by the dock for an hour now, trying to figure out what to sign up for. "Oh hey!" I gave him a bright smile. He chuckled and sat down next to me.

We sat in silence for a bit before he spoke up, "I wanna know of you can control water like I can." He looked over at me, who was playing with the water with me feet. "Oh I gotta see this!" Pearl appeared, sitting cross-legged on the water.

I blushed and played with my keys. It had become a habit that I would play or just hold them because it made me feel comfortable and safe, especially the gold one.

"Uh maybe? I don't know.." I whispered feeling embarrassed. "Well, let's start with something small. Try and make bubbles appear." He suggested.

I nodded. I focused my mind on the water, watching the waves move, not affected by Pearl sitting in them. Bubbles, create bubbles down at my feet.

Very quickly bubbles appeared, as if a strong current pointed at a 90 degree angle. Percy smiled like an idiot before jumping up and running towards the camp screaming. "GOTTA TELL THE OTHERS!!" I rolled my eyes and smiled.

I focused my mind again, willing the bubbles to start floating in the air, causing a small group of circular water drifting threw the air. They started at random places before I started arranging them into patterns. Star, triangle, straight line, circle. I was almost done with making a smiley face when someone startled me. " COOL!!" I turned and saw Italy racing towards me, with Celia a few feet away.

"Slow down Beans! I'm not a runner, I'm a designer!" She yelled. I laughed, losing all concentration I had of the water. They fell into the water making a splash. "Ewwww my clothes are wet."
"You could've just asked." I giggle. I quickly removed the water from her clothes and she looked perplexed as the droplets that were once of her clothes fell into the water.

Italy was playing with Pearls hair, talking about how easy it was to punch Andy and that he had a bigger head than he had balls.

I laughed so hard t slipped and fell of the dock.

The water felt refreshing, like a warm spring in the summer time. Some teenager naiads came up and giggled and asked if I would let them play with my hair. I let them.

They braided and wove my hair till I had a stunning bun that was shaped like coral. They had woven kelp and other plants into my hair, giving it a "nature princess" look.

I thanks them greatly and swam upwards, breaking through the surface of the water.

"OH MY GOD WE THOUGHT YOU DIED- wait, did you make the water style your hair cause that's fucking cool, do me next." Celia had started saying before completely admiring my hair. I laughed and sat down in the dock, completely dry as if I had fell on the ground instead of fell into water.

I heard the curfew bell (was installed that day), and quickly made my way to my cabin.

I ran to my cabin, extremely careful not to mess up my hair along the way. I really didn't want a repeat of last night.

Today was a nice day, I felt welcome, and belonged.

Sorry you guys didn't meet Olive in this chapter :( next chapter I swear!
